Dear KineJapanners,

Since we're on the subject of translation, I thought I might ask for  
your assistance.  I'm trying to find a good title for Hara Kazuo's  
Fumikoeru Kyamera.  The title, as well as Hara's work, is suggestive  
of a transgression of boundaries, in my opinion.  Fumikoeru, I take,  
then, in the sense of overstepping/crossing over/pushing.  But I'm  
really struggling for a useful title in English.

It's crasser and more colloquial than the Japanese, but I'm tempted  
to use something like "The Camera in Your Face."  "The Transgressive  
Camera" is also possible.  I'd be really grateful for any help with  
this.

Yours sincerely,
Jonathan
